Swamy and others then proceeded towards thirumalai. First they had darshanof 
the govindaraja perumal at the foothills of thirumalai. Swamy did 
mangalasasanam to emperumAnAr (who was responsible for consecrating 
govindarajaperumal in that sannadhi) and then did mangalAsAsanam to emperuman, 
along with the recitation of the paasuram ?kayinAr surisanganalAzhiyar?. Then 
all of them proceeded to have darshan of nammAzhvar and the other azhvarsat the 
foothills of thirumalai and stayed that night over there. Swamy showered his 
grace to many during his stay.

Next day, swamy bathed, finished his anushtAnams, prostrated the thiruvEnkata 
hill, which stays like a lighthouse to the agnAni?s (ignorant people) of this 
world to reach emperuman?s divine feet (?thiladha ulagukkAi nindra 
thiruvEnkatam?). Swamy then climbed the thirumalai which was like climbing 
steps to vaikundam and after having the darshan of kAttusingar proceeded 
climbing enjoying each and everything in the divine thirumalai (?malugandha 
oor? ?nan mani vannanoor?). On reaching the top, swamy was reminded of the 
paasuram ?kannan vinnOr thozhavE?, emperuman kannan stands there where even the 
nithya sooris come to worship him.

At that time, thiruvEnkata periya Jeeyer and other Ekanki srivaishanavas from 
the perumal sannadhi, submitted the news of arrival of periya jeeyer in perumal 
sannadhi and according to the order of thiruvEnkatamudaiyan rushed to welcome 
swamy with perumal?s thiruparivattam, thirumAlai and other honors, in a usual 
manner along with number of srivaishnavas holding chatra sAmaram and amidst the 
sound of divine instruments. Swamy on seeing the crowd of srivaishnavas 
immediately did danda pranAmam to them considering them to be nithya sooris who 
have been blessed to live in thirumalai as per the paasuram, ?emperumAn pon 
malai mEl AdhEnu mAvEnE?. The Srivaishnavas honored swamy with thirumAlai, 
thiruparivattam and prasadams which swamy accepted with due regards and 
proceeded inside; prostrating the vaikunda thiruvAsal and avAvara soozhthAn 
vAsal went in pradakshinam towards the kOneri. After taking a divine dip in the 
holy water, swamy visited the thirunandavanam (garden) of Sri ananthAzhvan 
named ?rAmAnusan? after his acharya, Sri ramanuja.

Then swamy had the darshan of jnanapiran and further with the recitation ofthe 
paasurams ?oonEru selvaththu? entered the temple, prostrated infront of the 
dvajasthambham, had the darshan of azhagiya manavala thirumandapam (in which 
namperumal stayed during the muslim invasion ) and then furtherproceeded to 
have darshan of various sannadhis in order.

Swamy had darshan of aththAni puli, Sri bali pedam, the flower mandapam called 
as yamunai thuraivan, senpaka thiruvAsal, periya thiruvadi, thirumadappaLLi, 
thirumAmani mandapam and divya vimAnam, senai mudaliyAr, and then after getting 
the permission from emperumAnAr proceeded towards the thiruvEnkata mudaiyAN 
sannadhi. Swamy stood in the ?vendru mAlai yittAn mandapam? and then had 
darshan of ?vidaintha vEzh marangalum adanga veidhu vEnkatamadaidha mAl ? Sri 
chakravarthi thirumagan and then finally reached near the kulasekaran padi 
(step) and did mangalAsAsanam to emperuman startingwith ?agalagillEn? and ended 
with ?adikkeezh amarindhu pugundhEnE?

Having darshan of perumal from bottom to top (pAdhadhikEshAntham) swamy said 
pallAndu to perumal and finally ended with the mangalam, ?mangalam mAnushE lOkE 
vaikunda mathidhistathE I sesha saila nivAsAya srinivAsAya mangalam II? Pleased 
with swamy perumal presented him with all honors and showered his full grace 
and blessings on swamy which swamy accepted with a lot ofgratefulness and love 
and came outside.
